LARP MSM 20140109Conductor, Cable and Procurement - A. Ghosh3 QXF - Cable Fabricated B1048Z and B1049 Z Strand is 108/127 Ta-Ternary 1048Z uses wire “as-received” 1049Z uses same wire annealed at 170C/14h Cable insulated with S-2 Glass® braided at NEWT Insulation thickness 0.143 mm and 0.141 mm, specification target is 0.145  0.005 mm. Cable is being used for winding tests with end-parts designed by ROXIE and BEND. Fabricated B1050Z, 190 m for first practice SQXF coil using “as-received strand”, 108/127, Ta-Ternary 175 m of cable will be sent to NEWT for insulation B1051Z using annealed strand will be fabricated in Jan’14. At a CERN-LARP Conductor meeting it was decided that CERN will fabricate Nb-Ti cable for all leads using 1.085 mm LHC “surplus” wire.
